Laser Emission Method
 |
Direct Irradiation
5 independent laser beams are EVENLY dispersed with
laser scattering devices.
|
Direct Irradiation
12 collimated laser
beams that are neither converge nor diverge along
theirs length, resulting in very small coverage area.
|
| Operation |
| Method
of Treatment |
| Handheld; |
 |
Closely contact the treating
scalp |
 |
Time to stop & treat (w/
emLas-650B): |
|
bald area - stop for 2 minutes |
|
thinning area - stop for 1 minutes |
|
normal area - stop for 32 seconds |

| Effectiveness |
| Laser
Biostimulation |
Positive effect for most users |
Possible for few users |
| To biostimulate the follicles,
the hair laser device must have: |
 |
moderate laser power density to
reach the follicles. |
|
sufficient emission laser beams to cover the scalp. |
|
enough delivered laser dose in
the reasonable time (15~30 minutes). |

Leakage |
Very Minimum with
reflection shield
No power loss with direct laser diodes. No mirrors, no lens. Advanced
laser scattering devices evenly disperse 5 laser beams.
Please note: The
handheld unit must be held to closely contact the scalp. |
Big Quantity
with comb
Loss of laser power from reflection and refraction. Generally lasers
lose 30%~50% power when reflected and refracted.
